[Elecraft] Locking VOX ? (low S/N K3)

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

Hey Guys n' Gals, 

 

Is there some way to lock the VOX, so the next time I turn the rig on, that
if I am on CW, the VOX is on by default?

Yesterday I spent I don't know how long sounding like a lid, calling
stations in the CQ-M contest until I finally heard "QLF" when I called AA3B
about 5 times.  He tried, I give him that, but after a while he could not
decode my gibberish.

 

I thought..hmmm, my CW isn't that bad.

 

I listened on another radio and yup, it sounded REALLY bad, skipping dits
and dahs.  I realized after a bit of reading, that I probably needed VOX
turned on, which I did.

 

CW was excellent after that.  

 

Anyways; I'd rather not have to remember every time I turned the rig on to
engage VOX if there was some way to make that setting "sticky" (hi)

 

Thanks
